Spring is in the air and it is the perfect time to take stock of what needs to be cleaned up in your life and where you need to declutter.  Families, jobs, finances, health, relationships, goals, life visions - all can do with a Spring clean.  When last did you examine these areas in the same way you tackle the pile of “stuff” waiting to be cleared out for a garage sale in the Spring.  I am going to challenge you to do the following:

Spend 20 minutes each day for the next month physically decluttering areas of your home.  Then find 30 minutes for yourself each day for the next month and reflect on your part in any one of the areas I have listed above.  Here’s something for you to consider from each of the above areas: 

Families: ask the whole family to sit down for dinner at the dinner table dinner for 5 of the 7 days of each week - and no TV on in the background.  Have a reward in place for when Day 5 dinner is completed.  At dinner, each person gets a turn to say what was good about their day and what was hard or challenging.  Be open to any conversation that shows up.  Have everyone assist to clear the table at the end.

Jobs/Careers:  Clean up your desk.  File all loose papers and tidy up. Do this for 10 minutes each morning and 10 minutes before you leave for the day.  Then from this place, draft an outline of what your perfect job/career would like if you had no obtstacles to achieving it.  Who works with you, what does the work environment look like, how much money are you earning. how many hours do you work? This is your job/career vision.  Compare the vision to your actual job/career.  Be fully present each day at your current job/career while working on advancing towards your job/career vision.  Set goals. 

Finances: If you have not already designed a budget, do so now.   Use it to see where you are and where you should set a focus.   Examine your debt and look at ways of managing it. Dont ignore it or sweep it “under the mat”. Give it attention and get rid of it.  Set money goals. Eg move by *** to pay less rent; save $ per month for a down payment starting (date)

Health: What do you eat; when do you exercise; when last did you have a medical or dental check up? How much sleep do you get each day; what would it be like to lose that 10 Kilograms? WHy dont you go to the gym or the yoga class? Whats stopping you?

Relationships: Connect; communicate; have fun; give space; do the maintenance work; dont drag up old stories and wounds from the past - be in the moment and use respectful language always.

Goals/life vision:

If you have not set goals for yourself or had difficulty creating a vision for any of the above areas or your life in general, then really consider hiring a coach to assist you in this area to declutter and get focused.  And move towards your magnificent life with clarity and purpose.
